1.      Because of shark finning, tens of millions of sharks die every year. Shark finning is putting sharks in the endangered species list, and if this act continues, sharks may eventually become extinct. Not only is this detrimental to the shark species, it is affecting the whole ecosystem. This is having an effect on other aquatic species as well, causing them to get closer to extinction. This act of shark finning is also simply inhumane. Stripping sharks of their fins and then pushing them back into the water is pointless because it leads sharks to either drown or get eaten alive by other fish. Without their fins, these sharks lose the ability to move.
